This artwork by John Szarkowski achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in October 2011. In the The American Landscape, Black and White Photographs from The Collection of Bruce and Nancy Berman auction, the work Garrick (Schiller) Theater, Chicago, 1954 sold for USD 5,000.00 (€ 3,585.00) - well above the upper estimate of USD 2,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Szarkowski - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Selected Images from The Idea of Louis Sullivan, which sold at auction in October 2014 for USD 13,125.00 (€ 10,474.86).
